Wet and tired in Louisiana
Guest
5 wks ago I took a trip from Benson, AZ to Lake Charles, LA on the Sunset.
The train was due in at 2:00 but arrived 4 hours late. I was told ,by the conductor, the station would be open and have a phone. Wrong! The station was closed and no phone available.
Lake Charles station is not located downtown, but 2-3 miles outside of town, and in not so good of a neighborhood. So my wife and I were left there with 2 suitcases each, in the rain and nearly dark. We had to walk quite a ways before coming onto a convenience store so we could phone for a taxi. We were wet, worried, and tired.
SO THE POINT IS; BE SURE AND BRING A CELL PHONE (mine didnt work out of the local area) and I suggest getting the throughout the USA system. AT&T, Verizon etc have it for about $40/mo.
It was hell, hauling 4 suitcases in the rain and dark. I thought my wife was going to have a heart attack.
Hope this helps to prevent others this ordeal
